Humanity in the 21st century faces unprecedented global challenges in the fields of ecology, international cooperation and peace, and economic justice. The premise of this year's Leeds Schumacher Lectures is that the key to overcoming these challenges lies in transforming the values and attitudes that govern our society, for it is here that the root causes of the problems are to be found.
